I Write Things You’ll Love to Read… even if you might want to yell at me after. :)

I love apocalypse.

This is a weird thing to say. I don’t particularly want to go through an apocalypse, but stories that take me there – to the end of all things, or to the kind of choice that changes history irrevocably and inexorably – just boils my brisket.

That means I really like it.

I love the hope heroes bring to such situations. I love the tiny stories of success and sorrow, the thread of humanity and better-than-humanity that rises in those times. To that end, I tend to enjoy Big stories a la Patrick Rothfuss, but that’s not all: geniuses like Neil Gaiman manage to conjure that emotional point, that turn-of-no-return, even over as small a thing as a cat who loves his family enough to fight the devil for them.

A girl appeared in the world of Harry Potter. How will she cope knowing the one she loves has to die? An SS/OC story, an attempt at circumventing Mrs. Rowling idea about SS, which I greatly despise. Canon

19 years after Voldemort's defeat, life has continued in Hogwarts. A new student arrives, and her magical mishaps gain attention. But is there more to her than meets the eye? What connection does she have with events that happened in Durmstrang long ago?

Sometimes, perspective is everything. From day one at Hogwarts, Severus Snape had problems, half of his own making, half not how one interprets those problems depends entirely on one's point of view. At least with Severus, one principle is always consiste

Bulma and Vejiita; a combo that makes anyone's jaw drop the first time they come across it. So how did that happen anyway? I offer this as an IC attempt at an explanation - through the eyes of a most unlikely observer.

Subaru Sumeragi, head of the Sumeragi clan, faces a challenge unlike any he's ever seen before - one that threatens to turn his very own loved ones against him. Intended as an insert to the Tokyo Babylon timeline - COMPLETE

Dreams don't always tell the future - do they? Sometimes they set do set people apart; and suffering in that condition, Hisoka is forced to face a new enemy that somehow has the ability to destroy souls.

The situation: five of the most seductive, manipulative men in anime competing against one another. The prize: domination of any 12 people in the world of their choice. The game: played down and dirty. It doesn't get any better than this.
